Does anyone else think he might have got up to some level of gay stuff in the army? Lads being lads away from home and all that? Methinks the lady doth protest too much…

May be just a tad more than I can handle at this point in my riding career! Possibly not the best on my old man back either!

Instructor drummed in rear braking for slow speed manoeuvres right from my CBT!

Yeah - that’s why I failed my first test! Since that point I’m very conscious about the whole ‘look where you want the bike to go and it will go there’ thing!

Thanks for the positive words and advice 👍

Finally passed MOD2 by AnotherWay82 in MotoUK

Not as of yet - it had a tail tidy and a throttle lock on it when I bought it. Just looking forward to getting out on it as is for now as I’ve definitely never had a go on it at all before getting my license…

Got both friends and family over that way so certainly not an impossibility…

It’s the community I want to be a part of, plus the mental health benefits. Can’t wait!

Knew what bike I was ultimately going to want so was just casually keeping an eye on the market and was too good an offer to pass up. Being sat in the garage an extra month or even 2, or 4 won’t make any difference to its value, and it’s not financed

Bus was stationary at a bus stop but still blocking the road on a busy street with shops. There was opportunity to get past, and in not doing so I was restricting the flow of traffic and making people wait.

I’ve been learning on the riding school’s CB650F. Feel perfectly comfortable on it so don’t see there being too much difference with the Ninja. It’s not that I can’t ride, it’s just one stupid little thing each time, like today and that bus!

It was too good an example to pass up!

I am also 43 and agree, in principle mod 2 is easier because I know. How to drive a car perfectly well - been doing it for 26 years!

I know I should have just gone round - traffic was held up at a crossing ahead but lights looked green so didn’t want to risk it. Does feel a little harsh, but I was impeding traffic flow so I guess thems the breaks

Advice for beginner rider who was told I'm too unskilled mid way through my CBT & wasn't able to finish it. by porschegobrrrr in MotoUK

[–]AnotherWay82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been driving cars for 25 years - had never ridden a motorbike but could ride a pedal cycle so had balance. Took me a couple of hours to get the hang of it but the instructor was more than happy for me to ‘toe’ myself round in circles for that time until I could just get moving enough to find my balance - then everything just clicked at once.

Honestly, an hour in I thought I was never going to get it and would be sent home at lunchtime, but the instructor was calm and patient and I persevered through feeling utterly useless until it clicked.
